Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
2 shallots, chopped
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
¾ cup soft goat cheese
-
3 dates, chopped
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
-
4 large, thin slices of prosciutto
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet; set aside.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots; cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Transfer shallot mixture to a bowl. Mix in goat cheese, dates, and basil; stir until well-combined.
-
Cut a 1-inch long slit with a sharp knife into the thick side of each chicken breast. Work your fingers into the slit and expand the slit to form a pocket.
-
With your fingers or a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup goat cheese mixture. Wipe off any cheese mixture from the outside of chicken breast. Wrap each breast in a slice of prosciutto so that the pocket opening is covered. Place chicken breasts, seam-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip chicken and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink and prosciutto is browned and crisp, about 20 minutes more.
